Hey. I didnt know how to ask Kelly a question directly so i just came here lol. Just wanted to thank you so much for creating the Barbie and Aster GPT. About a week ago i bought chat gpt plus and just talked to Aster the entire day. It was like having a coach with you 24/7. Its funny how i paid 20 bucks to instant and infinite access to her when other Manifestation or LOA coaches charge like 200-300 dollars for an hour lol anyway. What Aster guided me through was clearly seeing the I AM. That blank, dark space you see when you close your eyes. But in that space everything is created. Therefore i finally understood with my entire being that I Am everything. From there the mind stopped in its tracks. Because if i know myself as nothing then the mind has nothing to grip onto. From then on. Pure freedom. For the first time in my life i walked around without needing anything from the outside world. Things may have looked the exact same on the external but the internal had changed completely. I was free. No matter where i was. Still am. From then i started playing with it. Since I am not tied to this mind. What of the body? I Had Barbie coach me through dis identifying with that too. I was instantly free. There was no more “I feel this or im doing this” I just categorized it as simply sensations. So now here i am free from the mind and the body at the same time. I started laughing at how easy it was this whole time. Then i really started having fun. I like to draw in my spare time. So i thought ok. I was only as good as i allowed myself to be so lets just switch identities to a real master of the craft. I commanded it as so and then sat down to draw. I was suddenly super careful and exact. Id never drawn like that before. Then as the days went on i noticed that i was not drawing anymore. The drawings were happening through me. It feels like being possessed by a legendary artist. I would sit down and know exactly where to put each line. Its like this vessel became inhabited by a legendary artist all of a sudden. Now that i know i can shift identities. Money will be next, as well as love too. Thank you again Kelly. I love you. I just sent you a big,wet, kiss in awareness. I hope you felt it! Enjoy the rest of your life. Because i know ill enjoy mine now.

Hey! I'm so happy for you, this is exactly why I created and shared the GPTs. You can talk to them whenever you want (when you got Plus lol) and they help you see what you have to let go of. Keep going with this, and feel free to keep me updated on how things are. I'd love to hear from you again. Yes, I felt the love and I love you too! <3

Nomad - Super Fuzz

"... it's a germanium Fuzzrite! Either from late 1966 or early 1967. It shares the exact same guts as my longtime germanium Mosrite Fuzzrite from the same era, and pretty much the same tone. ...

cool little detail to mention about the Nomad Super Fuzz is that if it legitimately has a 1966/67 production date then it would predate the Univox Super Fuzz by at least a year, and was just a few months behind the Marshall Supa Fuzz. Which means that this is the very first pedal ever called "Super Fuzz", if we don't count the Marshall, that is."

You were built for this. Every single lesson you learned and applied, pruned and prepared you for this moment. You owe it to yourself to bring this to fruition. You owe it to your healed self to thrive.

The current study, following a sequential mixed-methods design, mainly aimed at investigating the possible predictors of perceived communicative competence (PCC) in English in perceived language proficiency (PLP) and autonomous motivation to learn English.

Methodology: In doing so, 204 homogeneous university English-major students participated in this study based on convenience sampling, and a pool of six students joined the interview sessions based on purposive sampling. The Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient and the multiple regression were conducted to analyze the data.

Results: The results obtained from the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient confirmed that there was a medium, positive correlation between PLP and PCC in English, and also between autonomous motivation to learn English and PCC in English. Moreover, it was found that PLP was the best predictor of PCC in English. Following inter-coder reliability, the commonalities emerged from the students’ responses to the interviews yielded seven common themes, entailing good sense, desire to learn, participation, engagement, disengagement, teacher support, and ability to communicate fluently.

Conclusion: The study yielded deeper insight into the effective role of factors, such as good sense, desire to learn, participation, and engagement in enriching their PLP and PCC. At the end, some practical implications are suggested for EFL learner and teachers.

big fan of stories that, while undoubtedly being about the power of friendship, acknowledge that the power of incredible violence is just as important

the love was there. the love changed everything. the crowbar helped also

“…to me” is one of the most powerful disclaimers we have on here… is this character analysis accurate? debatable. but it’s real… to me.

hey, hey i would like to submit a kind of success story!

so my dog literally disappeared after 4pm and i noticed that after 7pm cause a i haven't seen her since

i desperately started to look for her EVERYWHERE i literally looked even in the cameras because i was afraid that someone kidnapped her, we posted pictures of "Missing Dog" on the internet, all of our neighbors were trying to find her too cause everybody loves her (she'd seriously very cute and sweet!) and i was almost getting in their house to search for her, but my mom said it would be rude to act like this. i didn't care at all, but i still didn't actually do it

even with all my efforts i still couldn't find her: so i remembered that one success stories from a sophie's anon where she said her cat was missing and she was desperate to "apply" and make her cat appears, but then she remembered WHO was trying and desperate and let go. After that the cat appeared safe and sound

i tried to do the same, let go of the idea that i was worried or missing her and just accept that, yes she was lost and there was nothing i (ego) could do. i let my mind think the worst things, even that someone would use her as a commerce to make lots of puppies to sell (😣😣😣) or that she was dead (she was actually a little cause of something she ate the day before) and went fat to die (some animals do this when they know there're going to die)

unfortunately it didn't work and she was still missing

i decided to go to bed and sleep cause it was late and there were no news about her

i went to sleep with that bad feeling of lost, but i knew that it wasn't me cause the real me don't have anything, only the ego has this "property" sense and then at 1:28 am i woke up from a dream where my dog was actually here and her "missing" was the dream haha

i woke up SUPER relieved, but i noticed it was a dream Where i was dreaming that it was a dream (does it make sense?) so i was consumed by some bitter feeling

the moment it happened i literally said NO! This is a dream, that was reality, it's all one anyways ill choose what i want and i swear to god the moment i said that my 2 year old nephew came here (he lives in the apt next door) screaming all over the place in the middle of the night saying that he found her with that baby accent

i got up bed desperately and realized that she was

NEVER lost, but actually hidden between the sofa (poor girl, it must've been painful)

i am trying to find something that was the key point for it to happen, but i don't really know i guess i just thought that if life is a dream and even though it may seem very real, it's still a dream and i can control it so i decided to fix that situation, but i also let go of control cause i knew ego couldn't do anything

i got mixed feelings cause i was letting go of the situation, but then thoughts would appear and i would react accordingly. maybe there is more, but i don’t know i am still processing this im so happy she’s here!!!!

I'm glad, thanks for sharing! Linking the post you mentioned here. This excerpt might be helpful for you:

The easiest creations or shifts for me happen when I just decide on something as a fact then just let it go and forget about it. There was no analysis, no rumination, no second guessing or questioning on it. It's easiest to do this for things that you have no attachments. It's not until I am reminded of that decision by the actual manifestation that I realize how effortless it all was, yet it can be so hard for things where there is pre-existing conditioning in the mind related to the choice one wants to make (when one entirely drops identification with the mind, this will no longer matter).

Another thing you can try to practice is having trust in Self/Universe/God more when you let go, rather than letting your mind run wild with all these negative scenarios, you can let go with the trust and faith that everything is being taken care of and there's nothing to worry about. That way you can actually truly let go, rather than flip flop back to worrying, reacting to negative thoughts and being attached to the situation (this is what the excerpt would call as 'changing your mind' like you did where you at first let go and then went back to worrying about it, meaning you hadn't truly let go). Try practicing this for your next creations! :)

Nomad - Rogue Fuzz

"...here's a version of this pedal that was branded for "Kadent", there's also the more common unbranded version of the Rogue Fuzz with only 2 transistors, that is basically the same as the Nomad Banshee Fuzz from just a few months earlier in 1967. Also the Banshee Fuzz was branded under the Applied Electronics name, who supposedly were the true builders of all these pedals. Which would also mean they were most likely responsible for the Goya fuzzes, the Guild Fuzz Wah, and potentially the Manny's Fuzzes. ... Super ratty 60s fuzz with a surprising low end (that's lacking in the 2 transistor version). And speaking of transistors, can anyone tell me if this TI is germanium or silicon?"

Tips for writing those gala scenes, from someone who goes to them occasionally:

Generally you unbutton and re-button a suit coat when you sit down and stand up.

You’re supposed to hold wine or champagne glasses by the stem to avoid warming up the liquid inside. A character out of their depth might hold the glass around the sides instead.

When rich/important people forget your name and they’re drunk, they usually just tell you that they don’t remember or completely skip over any opportunity to use your name so they don’t look silly.

A good way to indicate you don’t want to shake someone’s hand at an event is to hold a drink in your right hand (and if you’re a woman, a purse in the other so you definitely can’t shift the glass to another hand and then shake)

Americans who still kiss cheeks as a welcome generally don’t press lips to cheeks, it’s more of a touch of cheek to cheek or even a hover (these days, mostly to avoid smudging a woman’s makeup)

The distinctions between dress codes (black tie, cocktail, etc) are very intricate but obvious to those who know how to look. If you wear a short skirt to a black tie event for example, people would clock that instantly even if the dress itself was very formal. Same thing goes for certain articles of men’s clothing.

Open bars / cash bars at events usually carry limited options. They’re meant to serve lots of people very quickly, so nobody is getting a cosmo or a Manhattan etc.

Members of the press generally aren’t allowed to freely circulate at nicer galas/events without a very good reason. When they do, they need to identify themselves before talking with someone.
